U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell has joined with those calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump following Wednesday's siege of the Capitol by Trump supporters.

Cantwell (D-WA) said in a statement Thursday she supports impeachment of the president or removing him from office via the 25th amendment.

Late Wednesday, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Washington's senior senator, said she supported Trump's impeachment or removal from office under the Constitution.

“I supported impeaching the President before for his misuse of his office," Cantwell said in a statement Thursday.

Cantwell continued:

“And I will support impeachment again for abusing power and attempting to interfere in the election results in Georgia. Promulgating misinformation as he did yesterday about our election system is a threat to our democracy. He is failing to uphold our Constitution.

“I would also support his cabinet in their measures to remove him from office.”

Late Wednesday night, Murray issued a call for Trump's removal following his incitement of a mob that took over the Capitol grounds. Four people died during the subsequent riot in the nation's capital.

In a statement, Murray said:

“Congress is continuing the process of certifying the election, but only after a day of chaos and violent extremism in the Capitol where some of our worst fears about the harm this President is willing to incite were realized. 

“We need questions answered about the profound breakdown in security and the stark difference in the treatment of this violent mob compared to legions of women, people with disabilities, members of the clergy, and activists of color who have peacefully protested in and around the Capitol complex. 

“The insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol today should be held fully accountable for their actions under the law. So should the President. The most immediate way to ensure the President is prevented from causing further harm in coming days is to invoke the 25th amendment and remove him from office. As history watches, I urge Vice President Pence and the President’s cabinet to put country before party and act.  

“To families in Washington state and nationwide, please know that as frightening as this has been, there is reason for hope because of your participation in the very same processes the President is seeking to undermine. Because of you, we will soon have a President and Senate determined to protect and strengthen rather than jeopardize our democratic institutions. Continue to have faith in yourselves, each other, and our democracy, and we will get through this together.”
